    I saw an exhibition here and even without the guilding, masters have a… luminance that is impossible to capture on film or print.

      I used The Kiss as an example due recent experience sparked by your reference to it above.

      To anyone reading this who hasn’t already: Do yourself a favor and keep an eye out for a Van Gogh exhibit coming to somewhere near you.

      Not an experience or whatever else.

      Make sure they have real paintings. The texture of the paint must be seen in person. The way the light moves on the oils is magnificent.

      Don’t take pictures, just look at the fucking light on the oil on the canvas.
